LaVie 2-in-1 Warming Lactation Massager, 2 Pack, Heat and Vibration, Pumping and Breastfeeding Essential, for Clogged Ducts, Improved Milk Flow, Mastitis

I read the reviews and was still skeptical and seeing the price of two, I was worried about spending that kind of money! I was trying to out weigh the decision by buying these or spending a ton more in formula. I'm glad now, that I went ahead and bought these! So to begin with, you have to charge before the first use! After that, I get about three pumping sessions with these, before they start blinking and die on you! Easy to charge, and I love that it's one cord with dual charging ports! Makes it a little more convenient and not have to keep track of two charging cords! Also, just because you turn off the vibration, doesn't mean the heat turns off and vis versa! Now on to my story! In the beginning of September, I got really sick for two days (not Covid/not the flu) and on top of that my right breast, I had terrible pain in as well! This is my second baby and my first baby, I never had mastitis! I didn't think much of it this time because I figured it had to be something with getting sick! I still don't know if it was ever mastitis! After I recovered my right breast never produced like it did before! I've done a ton of research and it always said not to worry, the other breast would make up for it! but at one time, both breast were producing wonderfully, 5 + oz each time! Even the left breast slowed down a bit but not like the right side! Sometimes I would pump for 10-15 minutes or 20 and the right would produce 2 oz less or more compared to the left! This is all after being sick! I started to try to nurse off the right side first when I wasn't pumping, thinking that would help, none the less, it would still only produce 2 oz., rather it be every 2 hours or every 3-4 hours! I bought these and it's made a difference! The recommended time is no more then 10 minutes or you could burn! Sometimes I do 10 minute heat and then keep the vibration on. Other times, I do 5 minute heat and continue with vibration. At work, I use these for 10 minutes and then keep pumping for another 20. When I don't use these, my breast produce like usually, stated above! When I use them, they produce at least another 1-2 oz. more! I use a portable and stationary pump! The portable is more bulky and takes up the entire bra basically, so it's a little harder to use these as, they don't bend but I love that they are slightly already made curved! I try to put as flat and as tight to skin pre instructions! (you can move them however you like) They work almost just as good with portable! When I use the stationary pump and just the flanges are in the bra, they fit much better and stay tucked into bra! Little less hassle! I don't have picture of portable pump without them but it's relatively the same amount as the other picture without massagers! I also tried to keep apples to apples and the pictures are about the same time waited in-between from nursing then pumping! So I would nurse and then pump about 1 hours - 2 hours later! The round picture is at work but I left to nurse 2 1/2 prior to pumping! I would recommend! Update: I added a picture of the round portable pumps without using the massagers! You can see my right breast produced less!

I’ve been looking forward to trying these new warming massagers ever since they were first announced. I exclusively pump and have been dependent on using the original LaVie massagers while I pump ever since I first started using them. My pumping sessions are usually on average about 45 minutes, and I have been using the massagers together with microwave heat pads whenever I pump at home. Heat + vibration does wonders for milk expression and preventing or addressing blockages. The microwave pads are extremely cumbersome, though. They are incredibly bulky, the heat doesn’t last long enough (at most 10-15 minutes), and they wear out easily and need to be replaced often. They are a hassle to microwave (I pump upstairs at home, and the kitchen is downstairs), and I don’t have access to a microwave when I need to pump elsewhere. These warming massagers are AMAZING!! They fit comfortably against my body and are the perfect shape and size for fitting into my pumping bra in various positions. Combining the heat and massage function into one device means that I have less stuff to carry around with me, and more importantly, less stuff to weigh me down and shove into my pumping bra. I love that the heat lasts for the duration of my pump session, and because of it, I’m finding that I’m pumping more efficiently than I have been before now. It’s now only taking me 30 minutes to empty. The warming massagers come with two heat settings (I have a high heat tolerance, so I use the hotter setting). The heat and massage settings work independently from one another, so you can use one or the other if you don’t want to use both together at any given time. They are not water proof like the other ones, so I will keep my regular non-warming massagers for working out blockages in the shower if I get any. These come with a neat dual tip micro-USB charging cable that allows both massagers to be plugged in to a single USB port — very handy if you have limited USB ports or wall outlets available. I can’t recommend these enough!

I really love this product and am so glad I purchased when on sale while I was pregnant. They function very well, I love having 2 you can use at the same time, and I LOVE the warming element. I developed a “pitty” (duct swelling in arm pit) and had some engorgement early on and massaging with these provided so much relief! I now use them frequently to help massage while pumping. The only drawback is the battery life. I usually have to charge them up at least once a day. But that’s not unexpected given the warming element and how much I use them! Just keep your charger plugged in at your pumping station or bed side and you’ll be good to go. Great product and I would purchase again without hesitation.

I’ve been on a breastfeeding journey and I’ve done everything. I have been eyeballing this product since before I was due, and the price held me back. A couple days ago I found myself getting clogged ducts and it pushed my purchase. It’s only been day one and the results have been amazing. 1. It cuts down my pumping sessions, my milk would take a while to come in. After five to seven mins I’m almost halfway there. 2. It helped my clogged ducts on the first try. I didn’t realize the heat settings because I didn’t read the instructions. I was desperate to get my boobs to stop hurting. The red setting is HOT. 3. It’s only getting four stars because of durability, it’s only been one day so I can’t say for sure, I read a lot of reviews and I’m hoping it doesn’t let me down as it is a decent purchase money wise. If your on the fence I would say do it. It’s not cheap but it’s paid off. Don’t wait till your in a bind like I was to get it. For pumping purposes along I would get it. Only downfall it’s loud so it’s not a discrete with the vibrations.

We welcomed to the world our premmie baby ahead of time and all of the sudden, all our plans went to the trash can. Aside of sleep deprivation, we had to focus on my wife's recovery from c- section, while having to nurture a 4.11 pounds baby. One morning around the 1st month, our Doula (Professional trained on birth - I didn't know that!) sat me down and told me point blank: This is serious, your wife has several blocked ducts (one of them gigantic), if we don't get them under control within the next 24hrs, she is going to develop mastitis - it is going to be painful for her. The solution- I was told to help her to massage her breasts with 2 electric toothbrushes (hands would not be enough). After just one round of toothbrushes massage (and those warmer pads you heat in the microwave) I could not fathom my wife having to endure this for whatever is that she would like to breastfeed our baby (or pump into bottles). Let alone, she was so tired (physically and emotionally) that she was ready to give up breastfeeding altogether. This is when I did my research and found this medical device. I didn't hesitate and got it delivered overnight and we saw IMMEDIATE success. These devices provide the right amount of heat and depth of vibration to unblock her 5-10 blocked ducts. In a matter of minutes, we helped her to prevent a severe infection. She has been using them religiously every time she pumps (baby doesn't like the vibration during feedings). We are also supplementing with Legendairy Milk® Sunflower Lecithin, 1200mg (bought in AMAZON) and she is doing great. Our experience with the device is ~ 5 weeks. No more need for heating pads (certainly no electric toothbrushes!) . She wears them under her breastfeeding bra's (those with openings that allow pumping or breastfeeding) and she doesn't need to hold them (unless she is treating a very deep clot). There have been a couple of instances when other ducts got blocked (primarily when baby decides not to drink empty the breasts) but right away these devices have helped her to unblock the ducts. No medicine, no pain. I remember reading a negative comment of the device not helping - I'm a guy (forgive me!) and all I can say is that perhaps these massagers work in small to medium breasts sizes. At least, I can attest, they have work on my wive's c-cup breasts. I also remember seeing complaints about the battery - we don't have any issue with this. Specifically, my wife keeps them in her breast pumping station. She uses them ~2 sessions (20 minutes each) for a total of 40 minutes before re-charging them. Lastly (and I'm not getting paid to say this) - my wife almost every day thanks me for having found these massagers. She thinks of them as live savers (perhaps a bit of stretch) but certainly they have helped us to continue our breastfeeding journey with our little one. Our Doula didn't know about these massagers - she was thrilled and impressed when we show them to her. I believe she has now share them with her company so that other Doulas can recommend them to other clients. Great product, and yes I highly recommend it - IF I would have learned about blocked ducts before, I would have hesitated to purchase these expensive massagers... Having lived what it means for my wife and baby to face the potential of mastitis - these devices are priceless to me.

I use these daily, almost every pumping session. They really help maximize your milk output and resolve minor clogs, especially if it’s been more than a few hours since you pumped. I also use them to break up clogs - the vibration plus heat makes them more effective than those microwave heating pads. Nice bonus: with them in, I barely feel any nipple discomfort while pumping. I was hesitant at first given the price but well worth the investment if you’re planning to pump a lot. Only couple caveats - I do still manually massage in addition to these, they don’t get everything out. And battery life is short - keep it plugged in and it’ll just be a minor inconvenience.

Product worked great for a few months and then would t hold a charge.

It's been one year since I have been using this device. I have weaned off breastfeeding at 12 months. During this time I have used it for milk stimulation, clog busting and as a neck/shoulder massage. The vibration and heat are aggressive enough to help with muscle tension. These devices will continued to be used to alleviate the neck and migraine pain. Amazing product for me with versatile functionality. Obviously durable after one year of usage.

Performance is good. The heat and vibration function helps with the flow of milk during pumping sessions.

I haven’t tried it yet but it’s as described it its the heating Two levels and the vibration two modes I’m looking forward to try it I will update my review when I give birth inshallah And try it

Seul défaut : a de la batterie pour environ 45 minutes après on doit recharger. Est ultra efficace pour désengorger wt soulager les seins!

Fit so nicely into your nursing or pumping bra. Easy to use, too. Helped with clogged ducts specifically.

As an exclusive pumper this has been a game changer! I've been using the Lansinoh heat packs and the La Vie lactation massager, but this combines both of these in a easy to use and really effective product. The heat settings can be adjusted depending on your preference and even though it doesn't have the difference massage settings like the lactation massager you can select no, low or high vibration. I've had a few clogs and this gently eases the discomfort and I was able to pump it out. Fits well in my pumping bra and stays in place with the rubbery surface.
